[0029] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this utility model discloses a tabletop component, including a tabletop 1, a tabletop base 2, a first tabletop 4, a first slide rail 5, and a first sliding assembly 8. The tabletop 1 is mounted on the tabletop base 2, and the tabletop 1 is provided with a cup holder 3 for placing a water cup. A receiving cavity is formed between the tabletop 1 and the tabletop base 2. The first slide rail 5 is installed in the receiving cavity and extends along the length direction of the receiving cavity. The first sliding assembly 8 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 5. A first opening 24 is provided at the end of the receiving cavity. The first tabletop 4 passes through the first opening 24 and is rotatably connected to the first sliding assembly 8. The first tabletop 4 includes a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the seat body 14 is provided with a table component as described above installed on one side of the seat body 14, which facilitates the passenger to take and put the first tabletop 4, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0031] In this embodiment, the tabletop component further includes a second tabletop 6, a second slide rail 7, a second sliding assembly 9, and a stop bar 10. The second slide rail 7 is located within the receiving cavity. The second sliding assembly 9 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 7, and its structure is the same as that of the first sliding assembly 8. The stop bar 10 is mounted on the tabletop base 2 and has a second opening 11 located above the first opening 24. The second tabletop 6 passes through the second opening 11 and is rotatably connected to the second sliding assembly 9. The second tabletop 6 has a folded state and an unfolded state. The design of the stop bar 10 can further increase the stability and aesthetics of the tabletop component, while preventing items from slipping off the tabletop component.

[0032] In use, the table panel component is installed between the two seat bodies 14. The first slide rail 5 is tilted towards one side of the seat body 14. When the first table panel 4 is not in use, it is pushed into the receiving cavity, at which point the first table panel 4 is in a retracted state, reducing space occupation. When the first table panel 4 needs to be used, the passenger can pull the first table panel 4 out of the receiving cavity. The first sliding component 8 moves along the first slide rail 5 to ensure the smoothness of the first table panel 4 when it is pulled out. When the first sliding component 8 moves to the end of the first slide rail 5, that is, close to the first opening 24, the first table panel 4 is rotated around the first sliding component 8 towards the seat body 14. At this time, the first table panel 4 is in an unfolded state, making it convenient for the passenger to use. The second slide rail 7 tilts towards the seat body 14 on the other side. When the second tabletop 6 is not in use, it is pushed into the receiving cavity, where it is folded up to reduce space usage. When the tabletop is needed, the passenger can pull it out of the receiving cavity. The second sliding component 9 moves along the second slide rail 7 to ensure the smoothness of the tabletop 6 during extraction. When the second sliding component 9 moves to the end of the second slide rail 7, near the second opening 11, the second tabletop 6 is rotated around the second sliding component 9 towards the seat body 14 on the other side, where it is unfolded. The first tabletop 4 and the second tabletop 6 can be unfolded or folded up by pushing or pulling, allowing passengers to operate easily and improving usability.

[0033] The second desktop panel 6 has a different height from the first desktop panel 4. In this embodiment, the height of the second desktop panel 6 is greater than that of the first desktop panel 4, and the second desktop panel 6 is located above the first desktop panel 4. Specifically, the bottom plate of the table base 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21, and the first slide rail 5 is installed in the positioning groove 21 to position the first slide rail 5. One end of the table base 2 is provided with a first support block 22, and the other end is provided with a second support block 23. The first support block 22 and the second support block 23 are located in the receiving cavity. The second slide rail 7 is installed on the first support block 22 and the second support block 23. The distance between the second slide rail 7 and the bottom of the table base 2 is greater than the thickness of the first desktop panel 4. By setting the first support block 22 and the second support block 23 to support the second slide rail 7, the stability of the installation of the second slide rail 7 is improved, ensuring the stability of the second desktop panel 6 during use. Furthermore, the setting of the first support block 22 and the second support block 23 also facilitates the reasonable layout of the space in the receiving cavity, so that the first desktop panel 4 and the second desktop panel 6 are set up vertically, making the structure of the table panel components more compact and reducing the space occupied.

[0034] In other alternative implementations, the positions of the positioning slot 21, the first support block 22, and the second support block 23 can be swapped so that the first desktop panel 4 is located above the second desktop panel 6. This can also save space and meet the needs of passengers on two adjacent seat bodies 14 to use the seats at the same time.

[0035] Furthermore, to improve the ease of pulling out the first desktop panel 4 and the second desktop panel 6, pull straps 12 are installed at the ends of both the first desktop panel 4 and the second desktop panel 6.

[0036] Since the structure of the second sliding component 9 is the same as that of the first sliding component 8, and the structure of the second slide rail 7 is the same as that of the first slide rail 5, this embodiment will take the first slide rail 5 and the first sliding component 8 as examples. The first sliding component 8 includes a connecting plate 82 and a slider 83. The first desktop plate 4 is connected to the connecting plate 82. The upper end of the slider 83 is cylindrical, and the lower end is provided with a groove. The connecting plate 82 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder of the slider 83. The upper end of the slider 83 is fitted with a cover plate 81 by screws or bolts. The slider 83 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 5 through the groove at the lower end. The connecting plate 82 and the slider 83 can rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the first desktop plate 4 to rotate. At the same time, the slider 83 can slide smoothly along the first slide rail 5, thereby driving the first desktop plate 4 to slide smoothly on the first slide rail 5, which increases the convenience of use.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting plate 82 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 822, and the slider 83 is provided with a corresponding limiting protrusion 832. The limiting protrusion 832 is located within the arc-shaped groove 822. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 832 and the arc-shaped groove 822, the rotation angle of the connecting plate 82 and the first desktop panel 4 is limited. Specifically, when one end of the arc-shaped groove 822 of the connecting plate 82 rotates to the limiting protrusion 832, it indicates that the first desktop panel 4 is in the retracted state; when the other end of the arc-shaped groove 822 rotates to the limiting protrusion 832, it indicates that the first desktop panel 4 is in the unfolded state. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 832 and the arc-shaped groove 822, not only is the rotation angle of the first desktop panel 4 limited, but the stability of the first desktop panel 4 in the retracted and unfolded states is also ensured, improving the passenger's user experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the connecting plate 82 is provided with an elastic latch 821, and the outer wall of the slider 83 is provided with a corresponding slot 831. There are two slots 831. When the first desktop plate 4 rotates to the retracted state, it drives the connecting plate 82 to rotate synchronously, so that the elastic latch 821 is engaged in one of the slots 831. When the first desktop plate 4 rotates in the opposite direction to the unfolded state, the elastic latch 821 is engaged in the other slot 831. Through the cooperation of the elastic latch 821 and the slot 831, the position of the first desktop plate 4 is fixed, preventing the first desktop plate 4 from rotating during use and improving the stability of use.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first sliding assembly 8 further includes a bushing 84, a spring 85, and a ball bearing 86. The bushing 84 is installed in the through hole in the middle of the slider 83, and the spring 85 is installed inside the bushing 84. The lower end of the spring 85 abuts against the ball bearing 86. The ball bearing 86 is movably disposed in the groove of the first slide rail 5, and the groove extends along the length of the first slide rail 5. By providing the spring 85 and the ball bearing 86, the frictional force of the slider 83 when sliding on the first slide rail 5 can be reduced, making the pulling of the first desktop plate 4 easier and less strenuous.

[0040] Furthermore, the end of the groove is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting holes 13, which are located at the end near the first opening 24. The limiting holes 13 are arranged along the length of the groove; in this embodiment, three limiting holes 13 are provided. When the first desktop panel 4 is unfolded, the distance between the first desktop panel 4 and the passenger can be adjusted by adjusting the ball bearing 86 within different limiting holes 13, meeting the usage needs in different situations, improving the flexibility and convenience of use, and fixing the position of the first desktop panel 4 to prevent it from moving along the first slide rail 5 during use, further improving the stability of the first desktop panel 4. To facilitate the movement of the ball bearing 86, a guide slope is provided at the upper end of the limiting hole 13.

[0041] The connection relationship between the second desktop panel 6 and the second sliding component 9 is the same as the connection relationship between the first desktop panel 4 and the first sliding component 8, and will not be described again.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
